Assuming you’re bogged down with the responsibilities of adulthood, it’s not uncommon for it to take several days to finish a build of a larger Lego set. But despite being a Jedi with plastic bricks, David Hall started this epic build of Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Battle of Crait in November 2017, and only just finished it in early 2019.

Lego Ideas is a great way for people to submit their own creations in the hopes that they'll be turned into a proper buyable Lego set. Sets that get enough vote have to go through a review board, and the latest batch of results are in. Good thing too, since the Lego Flintstones set is set to arrive later this week, and we need something to look forward to. Two sets made it past the review board this time around, and they are a Lego-fied version of Central Perk from Friendsand a rendition of classic Disney short Steamboat Willie.Read More >>

Lego’s partnering with Universal for a new 13-episode animated mini-series called Lego Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar that takes place before both of the Jurassic World movies.
